Details

What's wrong: The clutch master cylinder may have been built with an incorrect retaining ring.

Why it matters: This may not allow the clutch system to disengage the clutch when the clutch pedal is depressed, resulting in unintentional vehicle movement, increased stopping distances, engine stalls, and difficulty in shifting.

The fix: Dealers will replace the hydraulic clutch master cylinder with a new cylinder.
